Questions, answered honestly

What is the difference between JPG and PNG?
JPG is the web’s standard photo format — its strength is small files that open everywhere. PNG is a lossless image format — its strength is pixel-perfect quality and transparency. Converting JPG to PNG trades one for the other.
Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?
No — and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. PNG is lossless, so it preserves exactly what the JPG contains; detail already gone does not come back.
What happens to transparency?
PNG supports transparency, so see-through areas survive the trip intact.
Does my file get uploaded?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, on your machine — no server touches this job. (Pro tools, when they arrive, will upload securely, and only when you ask.)
Is convert jpg to png free?
Yes — tools on the open shelf are free to use.
